Laminitis is a nuanced problem with internal damage that can range from mild to catastrophic. In this webinar, we will explore tissue changes observed during dissections. The goal is to deepen your understanding of the problems you face in your work. Paige will help you to understand that the purpose of our work as hoof care providers is to protect the tissues within the hoof from damage and to set the hoof up for healing.
We protect the tissues, but we do not actually heal the horses we work with. Understanding the types of damage will help you protect the foot from further harm.
Presenter:
Paige Poss has dedicated over 25 years to the hoof care industry, where she specializes in trimming horse hooves, conduction distal limb anatomy studies, and creating educational materials. Holding a BS degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University, Paige initially ventured into the field as a lab tech at various research facilities. However, her journey took a turn in 1999 when a lame horse ignited her passion for hoof care. In collaboration with her business partner, Jenny Edwards, Paige co-founded Anatomy of the Equine, LLC, a platform that publishes and sells education materials tailored for farriers and veterinary professionals. Paige’s unique approach blends her love for photography, science, anatomy and art. Her fascination with hoof and horse anatomy has led her to dissect and photographically document hundreds of lower legs and even whole horses.
Her most impactful dissection images, to date, focus on the palmar digital nerve as it descends deep into the hoof capsule. In 2020, Paige stepped back into the academic field and was asked to set up and manage the anatomy lab at the new University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine. She worked in this lab from 2020-2022 before returning to trimming and lecturing independently. As of 2024, Paige has delved into researching Equine Metabolic Syndrome as a lab tech at the University of Arizona. Paige’s unwavering commitment to understanding hoof mechanics, coupled with her technical skills, positions her as a trailblazer in the industry. Her dissections and clinics provide a creative and encouraging platform for others to explore hoof mechanics. Through her passion for teaching, Paige creates powerful images that not only educate but also inspire a deeper appreciation for the intricate world of horse anatomy. Paige continues to actively participate in clinics and speaking engagements, sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience. Currently residing in the Sonoran Desert in Tucson, AZ, Paige shares her home with her husband, cats, dog and horses.
A recording of this webinar will be available to view as many times as you would like for 6 months following the live event.
